Re: David Pollack says âGeorgia has no chance to win a nattyâ if Gunner Stockton doesnât improve
I gotta say...I loved what I saw from the young offensive linemen last Season. Especially, from Gaston and that kid that played next to him, on the right side. Very athletic and powerful.
I look forward to watching UGA's running game, more than the passing game. Big Nate could do something really special, this year. And, Gunner's wheels are just gettin' warmed up. HE can do something special as well.
This Season, has the potential of being an all-timer. Lol. An all-time best....or, an all-time letdown. I anticipate the former. Kirby ain't Mike White. Lol
Go Dawgs! Go Navy!

what about Monroe Freeling’s replacement? What if Drew Bobo isn’t ready for the start of the season?

"The reason I say that is IF the Defense is Ultra Elite and can shut a really good team completely down then the Dawgs could Field Goal them to death !!"____ @navydawg
That's why i harp on complimentary football, so much. Imo...you can't talk about offensive success without mentioning the defense....and, number of possessions or turnovers or average field position.
UGA is about as balanced as I've EVER seen em. Now, they just have to perform..."consistently"...on both sides of the ball.
Imo...Kirby made the necessary coaching changes that NEEDED to be made last year. We'll see how that pans out. Lol

Re: Isiah Canion already showing why Georgia made him a priority in the transfer portal
#'s 1, 4, 5 ,9, 19, 29, 44, 90, 99 ... all HS 5* players hitting their prime in the '26 defense. That looks pretty good on paper.
Personally i dont think a D alone can win it. In '21 there were 5 plays in the UGA/OSU game that all went for UGA. Any 1 goes against UGA and UGA loses.
It takes more than D. D was critical but timely plays and luck play a role as well.
QB is just critical for success. GS will have to play better than last year for UGA to win the championship. He hasn't played as well as SBIV. And there were many times when SBIV was bailed out by acrobatic plays by his receivers. GS's ceiling is UGA's ceiling in '26.

Re: David Pollack says âGeorgia has no chance to win a nattyâ if Gunner Stockton doesnât improve
Agree. We can all speculate and debate it and that’s what makes this site fun !! It’s entirely possible that Gunner might not progress at all. But honestly if that’s the case I’ll be utterly shocked. Like you and so many Dawgs fans I to want to see the TEs used more often. You make good points.
But I will say that @BigDawg61 made a good point about having a powerful running game. IF the Dawgs can indeed have a powerful and Consistent running game it should take allot of pressure off Gunner. In all facets on both sides of the ball the most important word for me is Consistency .
There were games last year that standing alone you’d think Oh these Dawgs are gonna be Ntl. Winners for sure, yet in other games you’d think No way we even make it to the playoffs !!
But in the end from a Whole team perspective a solid 75% rests on Gunner. The reason I say that is IF the Defense is Ultra Elite and can shut a really good team completely down then the Dawgs could Field Goal them to death !!
I Hope Gunner can improve and again I Believe he can and will. But just as Gunner will need to have Faith in his O Line and WRs/TEs, Bobo will Need to have Faith in Gunner and cut him loose. We All need to Expect the INT numbers to go up, But if he throws much more big ydg. plays and TDs we need to temper our criticism.
As long as Gunner plays a strong role in winning games and is a help more than a hurt I’m not gonna sweat INTs that much. Just Win should be our mantra. Go Dawgs !!

Re: David Pollack says âGeorgia has no chance to win a nattyâ if Gunner Stockton doesnât improve
I've said it before...and, I'll say it again....I don't give a rat's pajamas, who the quarterback is. YOU NEED TIME TO THROW LONG DEVELOPING ROUTES. And, last year....Gunner didn't have it.
Enter a new and hopefully improved O-line Coach. With what the Dawgs have returning, along with Big Nate....they probably won't even need to pass downfield. Dink & dunks will be enough. Lol
All that, said...I wouldn't count on anybody holding Stockton back, this year. He's about to go nuclear.

Re: David Pollack says âGeorgia has no chance to win a nattyâ if Gunner Stockton doesnât improve
for me it’s not just the deep shots, it’s utilizing the whole field. There’s a huge chunk of yardage in the middle of the field Gunner can’t take advantage of. Stetson took a leap in year 2…let’s hope Gunner can do the same. As of today I’m a little dubious.
I think his toughness can almost be a detriment because he plays through pain when he should be sitting. I doubt we will get much info from G-Day or the first two paycheck games.

Re: Why Georgia promoted Phil Rauscher as offensive line coach: âHeâs got a lot of good ideas '
Excited to see the energy Rauscher’s gonna bring this year.
